RE: RC Plane Guys Are Cheap!
My LHS is packed with small electrics, maybe a few 40 size trainers. Nothing I'd be interested in.
For the small parts, an example - a 12" servo extension $9 - I did buy 25 of them online for that price. No junk, they are of a great quality.
Same with many other items. Call me cheap, but driving about 100 miles to find out half the things I need are not in stock is disappointing.
Last time they were out of fuel lines, 10" props, no push rods greater then 12"...
Only thing I have to buy there is fuel. So I get more and more gassers and do less trips to the store.
